A DOUBTFUL POLICY.
What an Organ of Producers and Laborers
Says of ''POIiiics in the Order"
Waco Alliance Standard

Waco Alliance Standard.
We regret to see q disposition on the
part Of some to drag the order of the
Knights of Labor into party politics and
to place candidates of the order in the
field for public favor upon that exclusive
ground. We hold that the order is not
one of politics, but rather an order for
the bet;erment of the working men and
women of the land. Labor is high and
noble calling, composed of men Of all
parties and religious creeds, fulfilling the
high command of Him who said: "In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread all
the days of thy life"
Laboring men have joined themselves
together the better to enforce the demand
of justice to the men who toll for
bread, and whenever the order, as an
order, permits itself to be made
cats paw to party candidates,
it loses a large portion Of that
moral power which commands the
respect of the intelligence of the
country. As Knights of Labor, its
banner is the emblem of the
wage Workers-no politics, or religious
creed, no seeker for office, but a noble
brotherhood united tOgech for the COM
mon good of all, demanding common just
ice at the hands of capital, and equal
protection under the law. Strip it Of its
brotherhood, and ClOtbe it with the
ragged garb of party, and you sow the
seed of dissolution, aud decay VIII mark
its progress, and over is grave will be
written: "Died by the hands of its friends
by dose of party politics"
Do not understand us to say that
knight Of Labor must have no political
OpiniOns-by no means; they sacrifice no
politics, no religion, but as Knight of
Labor, know but one object, snd that Ob
ject the elevation and advancement of
the sons and daughters of toll, but one
hope, the equality of labor and capital be-
fore The world; one d, stinY, the subyer-
sion of monopoly and the establishment
of equal and exact justice to all men.
II this be changed by mastering the order
under any political party banner, rum to
the order is certain as that God reisns in
the house of His friends
The result will be the same no differ
enCe which poll zeal party is embraced.
The politicians court your favor, not
because they desire your success, but
merely because you command member
ship, and membership gives strength, and
if they can use your order to advance
party interest their Objectir gained. The
Grange felt the blighting influence of
party politics, and on It's tombstone has
been carved in letters Of living hight:
"Died by the hand of its professed
friends"
The Alliance foresaW the danger of po-
litical intrigues, wisely declared its or
ganization non-political and stepped out
into that broader and grander field of
0rotherly love and common justice that
makes it to-day the strongest social or
ganizstion under the sun.
As friend, we warn you of the danger
ahead. Steer clear of party-build up
your noble brotherhood in fraternal
union and success is assured, and genera |
tions yet unborn will rise up aud calI you
blessed.

No REVIEWS of the year are more
thoroughly satisfactory than those
which indicate tie increase of industrial

marvellous is the expression used COLI
cerning the growth of manufactures in
South Carolina. In that state three
times as much capital is nov invested
in manufactures as at the outbreak of
the Rebellion, and about i've times as
many hands are employed; and ii is csI>
culated that the income OF the people.

now considerably more than it was in
the "palmy days" of the slave system.
Up-n this state of affairs the south and
the whole nation are to be congratulate
ed. Less politics and more prosperity
is the watch-cry of an era which should
be the brightest in all the history OF the
southern states.

What Carp" Saw, of Paris.

Paris IS endowed with perpetual life The
city grows gayer as it grows older. Il has
made beauty scientific study, and what with
its paint and powder, its rouge pot, and its
enamel, it looks like the creation of an Alad-
dinis lamp in single night rather than the
growth of many centuries. Everything IS
new in Paris and the whole city appears 10
have jumped out Of a bandbox. 1t is hard to
imagine that it was a well-known town when
Christ was cruciied, and that its foundations
had been laid when Julius Cesar was sucking
his thumbs and blinking hs little eyes as
raw, red. baby. We Americans speak OF
Washington city as the coming Paris Of the
west The broad streets and shady avenues
are laid out with the same regularity, and it
has much the same climate, and it Is to be the
future social, artistic, scientific, literary and
pleasure city of the western hemisphere
Already its residences surpass in exterior
beauty those of Paris, and few centuries
from now it may take the place Of Paris.
Washington is only ninety years old, Paris is
over 500. When Paris was 200 years Of
age she had not surpassed in population that
of the Washington OF ninety. When Co
lumbus discovered America, Paris was city
of over 200,0 people, or as large as Cleve-
land, and it had reached the present sine Of
Chicago before Washington was determined
upon as the capital Of the United States Il
now has 2, 500 900 people, and it is just about
twenty times as big, as lively, and as beau
tiful a. our national capital-Frank G.
